I have a 198 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: message of gratitude, a message of hope. Over a year ago, 199 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: at this time, I was living in a tar nine 200 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: a ten, just a tarp on the street.

You have to have 204 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: people to help you. And for me, all the services 205 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: that were provided by different organizations, by different people were 206 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: there because somebody voted. Somebody voted for these different services 207 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: to be empowered, and that's what helped me get my 208 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: life back together. And now I've been housed for since 209 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: July first, and let me tell you, it was a long, 210 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: rough journey.

It takes a village, 215 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: it really does. And this is why I'm gonna make 216 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: sure I vote for certain because I vote so that 217 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: you a so that you may hear my voice.

And I vote because 222 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: there's an economic recession, racial oppression, voter suppression, and presidential election. 223 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: Please vote, thank you. I have to say that's very true. 224 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: One thing we all have in common, whether we house 225 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: or unhoused, is that balance. The second thing that we 226 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: have that we will I like to tie into it 227 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: is people that have mom and pop stores, like in 228 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: Chinatown where I stayed in the park. These people have 229 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: the same struggles in some different respects, but they have 230 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: one thing that they also have looming in their horizon 231 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: that they may be evicted, and when the eviction comes, 232 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: there's compli and there is no stimulus percept one. I'm 233 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: this vote year number twelve hundred dollars. Do you think 234 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars is going to angle of converb? The 235 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: living expenses for twelve months out of is ridiculous. So this, 236 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: this fight is everybody's fike from houses, the pure, from 237 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: the mom and pop businesses, from the other house community, 238 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: and we all love something about it. There's a h 239 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: a gentleman that I interviewed and he he has always 240 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: had some insightful information and ideas, and I would like 241 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: to introduce him I macmam a Hollywood area and interview 242 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: him a few times, a few times with Doc Perman views. 243 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: Mister house, Hello, everybody. My name's Hal had been unhoused 244 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: in LA Council for twenty years. I recently was accepted 245 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: into a project room key as a result of direct 246 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: action taken by Ground Game LA Ktown Parole DSA, LA 247 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: Street Watch LA. And as a result of that action, 248 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: I was put in front of the right cameras and 249 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: microphones to get laist's attention. LA is to put out 250 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: a very informative article about my story, and within twenty 251 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: four hours I had an exception to Project grim Keep 252 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be a direct avenue for permanent set 253 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: of sustainable housing. And again, these things are are all 254 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: a result of direct actions and votings by citizens and constituents. 255 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: Your unhoused neighbors are just that neighbors. We are parts 256 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: of your community. Very few of us in tagged harm 257 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: in any way, and when harm has been, it's usually 258 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: instigated by someone else. If we stopped voting, that's not 259 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: gonna mean anybody else stops voting. Our entire elections system 260 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: and voting system may be a sham, but if we 261 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:13,479 Speaker 1: exercise it, at least the data exists that there was opposition. 262 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: Please vote. Just because you don't have an address doesn't 263 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: mean your constitutional rights evaporate. This document written by slave 264 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: owners three hundred years ago may not be the best 265 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: way to run things, but it's what we've got to 266 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: work with and on right now. And if you don't 267 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: exercise it, it's gonna continue to be trampled on, and 268 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: nothing is ever gonna change it. May it may not 269 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: even change with voting, and there may actually need to 270 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: be a revolution, but before that happens. If data exists, 271 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: then there's reason for the revolution to happen, and the 272 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: data exists to prove it. Please exercise your civic duties. 273 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: Without it, we're all to what they do to the 274 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: least of us.

The communication between actual life and 390 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: the love. So that's about it, thank you. No, like 391 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: I sad. I think this is very uh clear that 392 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna need a better micro system. And I I've 393 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: been thinking now, if you guys want to support your 394 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: house and this kind of thing, please put some money 395 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: toward us getting a better mic system because I want 396 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: us all to hear our messages because of important One 397 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: of the things I warn't also to talk about is 398 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: that they are unhoused people from all over Los Angeles College. 399 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: The houselessness doesn't begin and again at Echo Park. It's 400 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 1: his skid row. It's in Hollywood, it's in the Valley, 401 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: it's all over the country. So, without further ado, this 402 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: gentleman here is from Ethel Park. He's one of the 403 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: primary voices when we have direct actions that we've had 404 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: in the past three years, he's been one of the 405 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: four front He's been featured on the public radio show 406 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: on the news. Without further duke, mister Iman, I'm at 407 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: people can't hear how y'all doing perfect? All right? All right? 408 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 1: I think that was a good place to transition because 409 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: a lot of what she said was facts. You know, 410 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: voting is all good, but there's something before we have 411 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: to do it. Before we vote, there's something that's missing. 412 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: If you live outside the courthouse, or if you live 413 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: outside the Salvation Army but you don't even know who's 414 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: working it, or they can't even come out and give 415 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: you some food, there's something wrong with the system, right. 416 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: It just becomes another like agency or corporation or something 417 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: like that. And that's why this is so beautiful. I mean, 418 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: look around, you see tents, you see on house people, 419 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: but then you see house people. You see all brackets 420 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: of the economy here together. Because ultimately, that's what we are, 421 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: a society of people, and I think that's the part 422 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: we really need to focus on. First. You know, homelessness 423 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: exists out here and Echo, It exists out here in Schedurow. 424 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: It exists out and everywhere, seventy thousand people outside. But 425 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: when you label it and you give it a statistical number, 426 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: you take away from that humanity in front of you. 427 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm no different than your average twenty five or twenty 428 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: six year old. I work out every day. I'm just 429 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: trying to live my life. So it's that connection we 430 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: can make with each other that brings a realness to 431 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: what's going on here. So this is really beautiful. Thank 432 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: you all for coming out, And yeah, you know, sort 433 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: of put on the spot, but I guess I want 434 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: to talk about to the amidst all the harassment we 435 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: faced out here in Echo Park, the police harassment, the 436 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: city harassment, people telling us not to be in their backyard. 437 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: But where else are we gonna go. We've still had 438 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: seven people get apartments and hotels. We've still had people 439 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: move on. So our goal here isn't to live here perpetually. 440 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: It's just we have nowhere else to go. And it's 441 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: a beautiful thing when your neighbors realize that as well 442 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: and work with you rather than work against you. You know, 443 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: this is a kind of thing that needs to continue 444 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: happening all over, not just an echo park. We need 445 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: to take the system here and we need to spread it. 446 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: We need to get house folks doing stuff with unhouse 447 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: folks and together showing the city what that actually looks like. 448 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: You know. On the bracket or on the ticket, I 449 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: think it writes Trump and Biden. And I'm not following 450 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: the politics too much, but I heard Biden was gonna 451 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: put Mary Garcetti on his ticket to take over the 452 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: young house issue in America. That's crazy because Mary Garcetti 453 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: took our showers, and we had to build our own 454 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: showers because we had nowhere else to shower. You know, 455 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: when the lady was talking about how during COVID they 456 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: cut funding on the shelters and there was nowhere to go, 457 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: that's a fact. So if you cut funding on us 458 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: and then you give it funding, and then you cut 459 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: funding and then you give it funding, you're taking away 460 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: our agency. You're taking away our right to just walk 461 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: this life the way we want to walk it. So 462 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: you took my hygiene from me, you took my ability 463 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: to go somewhere to live. And then now because it's 464 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: voting season, all of my answers are supposed to come 465 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: through you, the system and agency that took everything through me. Nah, 466 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: I don't think so. All of the answers come through 467 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: this through grassroots organizing and through people in the community 468 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: and houses getting together, sharing a common vision of love 469 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: and unity and just coming up with projects right, just 470 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: simple projects to do together. Are shows to do together right, 471 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: to highlight the voices and talents. So thank y'all for 472 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: coming out.

And you don't have enough of them, 620 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: nearly enough. And y'all are trying to still displace people 621 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: and throw out their lives in garbage trucks and displace them, 622 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,719 Speaker 1: put them into darker corners, use enforcement zones, and yet 623 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,959 Speaker 1: this other concept the city's trying to push forward around 624 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: their shelters, the abridge enforcement zones. It's going to be 625 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,439 Speaker 1: expanded to other areas. The city is going to try 626 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: to evict people from underpasses starting at the end of 627 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: this month. In the San Fernando Valley in Bob Blomenfield's district, 628 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: there is an eviction notice right now at an underpass 629 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 1: that says by October twenty seventh, you will have to 630 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: either take a shelter bed or get the fuck out 631 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: of here, and the cops are gonna arrest you if 632 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: you don't get out of here five hundred feet of 633 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: this underpass. And that's a preview of things to come 634 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: across the city. They are going to try and redline 635 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: certain areas of the city which will eventually become most 636 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: of the city before we know it as enforcement criminalization zones. 637 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: We have to fight that.
